Being Together / Tony Romeo

-

 Being Together ..that was the title of my first  post, published in December 2020.  Actually my blog is called 'David Cassidy Being Together' and when I was thinking about the best name for it, 'Being Together' seemed to me the best idea, we fans, being together, talking about David Cassidy, his life, music and his legacy. But first of all, this is the title of a  great song, written by that forgotten genius, Tony Romeo.

Wonderful, the music, the lyrics and David's singing. I thought about that song while reading 'Cherish.', Louise Poynton's book, last night. After yesterday's post about Danny Calvagna, she remainded me, that his memories are in her book ( page 193), in the section 'The David Effect'. And of course I've read more, a lot more, thinking about the impact DC had (and still has) on our lives. We have different backgrounds, age, experiences, a lot of things, but on the other hand there are  so many similiarities..David Cassidy experience..

Another great song from 'Cherish'..

There was something Danny Calvagna wrote what struck a chord with me. That when he was 15 in 1970, and in a band, it wasn't cool to play The Partridge Family songs, and that he didn't say anybody that he wanted to be David Cassidy 'He was a guilty pleasure. A voice that I wished that I had'. And David Cassidy was a guilty pleasure for me too. I wasn't in a band, but I knew a lot of boys who were, my boy-friend's best pals, and I would have sooner died than admit that I'd loved David Cassidy and his voice. Those boys wore black t-shirts, jeans, battle dress jackets..The Police, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Joy Division..that was cool...

Danny Calvagna found a way to thank David Cassidy for so many wonderful memories, he played his music, brought joy and happiness. I write a blog.

Kay Lenz, an Actress

Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing today's blog just to gossip about DC's private life, it's because I always admired that amazing woman, Kay Ann Lenz. She had birthday yesterday. 3 years younger than David, a few years older than a typical DC's fan.  In the 70s I heard quite a lot about Kay Lenz . She was very popular in Poland, like the rest of the cast of 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. That tv series was shown in my country I think in 1978, and everybody watched it, also a lot was written about the cast. So one day I read that Kay's husband was a former teen idol, David Cassidy. There was also a pic and I thought that it was just wonderful, I thought they were the most beautiful couple in the world. There was something very moving about Kay. I thought she was different than typical American actress. Such beautiful eyes, but her beauty wasn't an ordinary kind, not for everybody so to speak. When I was a teen I couldn't put in words what I thought a

They Said I Changed A Lot..

Let's first listen to something which was not released, why they didn't want David singing that song is a great mystery for me. Listening to his young, sincere, innocent and magical voice is one in a kind moving experience. You can just imagine David sitting next to you, with his guitar...and.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PbghG6czuw&t=6s Amazing. And of course we believe in David Cassidy and love songs. When I became a real DC's fan in 2018, there was something I used to discuss a lot with my English friend B. How David Cassidy kept changing. A completely different person in each decade. Or even more often. It was something difficult to understand for me. The many faces of David. Each album different from the previous one, different style and even his voice.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gvxt1WgaA B. thought there was nothing unusual about how David was changing, and I simply didn't follow his career from the beginning, I didn't grow with him, I didn&#

'I Just Hated Being In The Show..'

Last week someone posted a screenshot of the article from May 1974, unfortunately without the date or the name of the paper. Written by a popular journalist Roderick Gilchrist, I think it was Daily Express. We can read that this interview took place at London Weekend Television's Building, on the day before the DC's last concert in Manchester.  And David said, "I feel like the door to the cage has just been opened. And, any minute now I'm going to be able to fly right away from my prison. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel because I'll be free again.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG0hjhwKx5s His prison..Of course there have been other teen idols in the history of pop culture, but somehow for those from the 70s it was like someone put a curse on them. Nothing David Cassidy recorded later in life hasn't changed a bit that first opinion some people had of him and his music. My FB friend, Laurie Eby has written, "I researched 'New Y
